That's what happens when you take your code from a Stack Overflow question.

Don't forget AI (that scraped Stack overflow) providing a slightly different basic solution, that usually works (at least until you think about improving it).

And that is before it hallucinates a package that has been typo squatted by malware authors.

Am I the only one too paranoid to ever copy paste code from the internet and/or AI?

Code that I don't understand feels like a dead pixel when I try to picture the whole piece of software in my head. I even search for what all those one letter flags mean for a command or function before I feel confident in using it.

No, that is a healthy thing to do.
